Hi guys, hope you can help.

I'm doing a brake upgrade on my MKII Orion 1.8 ZVH Turbo, I've got cossie brakes all round to go on. Rears are 4x4 cossie discs, calipers and pads, with conversion plates and proper hand brake cable. Fronts are 4x4 cossie calippers and 2wd disks.

What I want to know is what hoses do i need to fit them? I'm guessing the standard brake pipes on the rears will need to be removed and replaced with some decent hoses? Also thinking some uprated brake hoses for the front calippers too.

Has anyone got any links they would reccomend for what I need?

Cheers

Well if coz calipers are a straight fit on standard hoses then logically they would be a straight fit on braded hoses.

Can someone confirm this, my finger is hovering over the order now button!

Well I think they're ok with standard hoses, I'd just like someone to confirm this for me. I just don't want to buy something which is going to end up completly useless.

Cheers for the rear brake info though

Are the calipers 4 pots??

If so then the have to get the ends adapted with bango ends.. cause they will smack the drive shaft otherwise..
